As they say, some of the best surprises come unexpectedly. I took my wife to Fin and Fern on a whim for her birthday dinner. Made a reservation online for 7pm and was promptly seated when we arrived. Fin and Fern has a cozy atmosphere and a pleasant staff, Jodi from upstairs was great.
I would suggest that if you are looking to make a reservation, make it before 6:30pm. Two of the dishes I was looking forward to ordering were already sold out before we could order our meal.
Took a leap of faith on the warm beet salad thanks to the staffs feedback, it was probably the best beet salad I have ever had.
The lobster ravioli was also delicious, I would absolutely order it again.
Unfortunately, my experience was diminished when I was served a burnt crème brûlée. My wife’s dinner and dessert came out great, which is all that really matters.
Overall a great evening and one not so great dessert.

Pizza is off the charts here. The Paula pepperoni better not put the lil nook of Stonington on the map! The folks that work here are so phenomenal, kind, and hard working. Come here for the freshest ingredients and the menu creativity (wayyyy beyond 'za). This place will never ever disappoint! Great selection of bevvies and lovely outdoor seating too.

We love the location and food! The pizza and salads are especially wonderful and memorable. Stonington is a gem!

I got dinner here with my husband last fall, and I still think about it. Has to be some of the best food I've ever had - rustic, fresh, and delicious. If I ever make it back to Stonington, I'll do it for this restaurant.

My daughter and I wandered into Fin and Fern on a busy Friday evening and were given seats at the bar upstairs. The bartender is a master mixologist and extremely friendly. As vegans, we didn’t find much on the menu, but we asked for pizza and salad without the cheese and had a delicious meal!! The ambience was delightful and the people were so interesting!! Best restaurant on Deer Isle, by far!!!

The Island has been garnering more attention as of last and that has brought some extraordinary food service outfits to cater to the appetites of said growing clientele. My wife and I have been to all of these establishments at least twice. Some of these restaurants offer food as an "event" which I have found immense enjoyment in, but barring that type of experience, Fin and Fern is the best standard model restaurant in Deer Isle. The views are great, the servers are attentive and accommodating, and the food is phenomenal. We have had most of the menu across our table in our several visits and not a single dish disappointed. (The far and away highligh for me being their carrot cake) The only point I would add, that would seem like a complaint, is the parking; or lack there of. If you don't want to circle the block a dozen times trying to finagle a spot that doesn't upset the neighbors and their copious "NO PARKING" signs, I have found that parking in the free lot by the Stone Cutter monument and strolling over is the most hassle free approach; if, of course, you are able bodied enough to do so. If that's the case, a brisk walk in the bracing seaside air is a pleasant way to whet the appetite or aid the digestion in respect to a fine meal.
Lovely local restaurant! We went twice two days in a row in order to try more items on the menu, everything was great! Pasta and pizza were especially good
Amazing restaurant!! The food was universally delicious (seafood stew, swordfish and lobster ravioli), we ate on the porch which was so nice (plus they had blankets when it got chilly). Top notch service as well.

A really exceptional local spot with delicious and fresh food. I ordered the Basil Kush pizza which did not disappoint! It was cheesy and full of flavor with a touch of prosciutto. It was one of the better pizzas I’ve had. I also sampled the Halibut and it was incredible. Really truly spectacular! Fresh halibut lightly grilled with ginger and full of flavor. I also enjoyed a lovely Pear Martini that was well balanced and truly tasted of pears. All in all, we had a lovely dinner here and it seems like they rotate items on and off the menu while offering daily specials. Compliments to the house and chef!
